It's not about growth governor...it's about survival

For an upcoming feature on the Illinois budget crisis, WDCB radio featured this Rauner quote in its promo:

"Some people think this discussion is about passing a state budget. What this is really about is whether Illinois will become a growth state".

Really governor? Maybe for a billionaire who's spent his career re-arranging the deck chairs on company boards to grow his fabulous wealth, that statement makes sense. But for the students seeing their classes and educational resources cut, for state vendors waiting months for payment, for working stiffs being stiffed from receiving livable wages, this discussion is purely about surviving in a state without a responsible state budget...Item One in your job description. Your governing motto sounds like 'After moi, the deluge'.
